275/65 or 305/55

[Tim Garceau]

They didn't come with narrow thru tapped acorns? I would ask if they were supposed to be included as they are inexpensive.

You have center caps and the lugs wont be visible.

 

[Cableman]

No they didnt come with them, wasnt in the listing either. So i should just get cheap acorns with 60° angle?

 

[BWL]

Do those wheels use the acorn style or the mag/flange style?. The stocks are all acorn, but most aftermarket are the mag/flange style. If the lugs fit, but not the socket go to a splined lug and get a spare socket just in case you split or lose one. I kept 1 in the truck and 1 in the tool box when I had that style.

 

[Cableman]

Im guessing these are acorn tapered.

oh i get it, i can take a challenger and mod the crap out it to beat a hellcat, then i should put hellcat badges on it just because ....great logic

If you can pull away from 392 challenger 5 speeds as well, just put an S in front of that R/T!

best I can tell from the pic you're correct.

From what i see online the open end lugs are ¾ or 19mm socket which fits in wheel, so i guess ill just order a set of those as a 6 point socket is more common in a pinch.

Make sure you don’t get the impact socket, it’ll rub on the bore and possibly chip your powder coat. A standard 3/4” with 1/2” drive will survive the rotations as long as you use a torque wrench to tighten to spec. Impact is fine to get off and snug

 

[BWL]

I have a set of each in my toolbox. The oe ooen ends I have are actually a slightly larger socket.

 

[Cableman]

I have a few regular sockets, ill pick one up for the glove box. Stock lugs are big, acorn part wouldn't even fit.

 

[Cableman]

Stock lugs are quite a bit larger then a ¾ acorn, but both have the same thread depth.
Still torque them the same at 130ft lb correct?

Those wheels look good. I was going thru your thread and noticed the Helo wheels was an option. I just had some installed on my truck last week. Mine are the Helo 916s.

Sweet, i was looking at those also but these came up for a great deal.
What size wheel ya go with, 29x9 ,20x10?

 

[DJ Maresco]

I just upgraded to a LT295/60R-20 on my stock wheels, but I also had a 4" lift installed.

I went with 20x9

275/60 tire?

 

[cam101]

275/60 tire?

Yes 275/60 factory tire

 

[Cableman]

So i got convinced to go 305/55, i like em! Would have loved to seen 275/65s on these wheels also but i dont have a discount tire near me.
Rear sidewall is flush with top of flare, front is ¾" past.
They look so much wider than stock but really only 1" wider sidewall to sidewall.
So far I havnt seen any drop in mpgs and i think the ride is actually better!
Bilstein 5100s are in garage waiting for me to install but so far i have not rubbed any part of the wheel well.

Super clean stance, now drop the rear!
